More than a campus garden\, the Healing Garden is a living laboratory reimagining the university’s role in an era of ecological crisis: How can higher education become a force for planetary healing and community renewal? \nDrawing inspiration from Thomas Berry’s vision of the University as a bridge to the Universe\, the Healing Garden brings the living world—soil\, water\, plants\, animals\, and people—into the heart of academic life. The project moves beyond symbolic gestures\, engaging students and faculty in hands-on acts of ecological and social repair: composting campus waste into fertile earth\, co-creating mandala gardens and mobile chicken coops\, and transforming kitchens into spaces of communal care and ritual. Through practices of permaculture\, social sculpture\, and deep listening\, the Healing Garden models a “future university” as a sensory organ and steward for its local bioregion\, nurturing both inner and outer landscapes. \nJoin us to explore how art\, ecology\, and education can converge to cultivate hope\, resilience\, and belonging in our time of planetary transition. \nSPARKS Exchange is a monthly online gathering that features a presentation by and dialogue with an artist\, as well as an interactive art exchange in which attendees have the opportunity to participate in an activity that sparks their creativity.
